Reviews and Awards

"This book presents a detailed and comprehensive state-of-the art review of fracture mechanics....deals with many aspects of fracture not found in any previous publication written on the subject.... The book is extremely well written and the authors bring physical insight rarely seen in any other book." --Applied Mechanics Review

"This book contains an up-to-date exposition of fracture mechanics and deserves to be on the shelves of researchers in this area....will in time prove to be a classic work of reference in elastoplastic fracture mechanics." --Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers
